i have an 87 camaro sport coupe LT and i always thought i wanted ground effects, but now i'm not sure. Here are some pictures of my Camaro So what do you think? i'm putting a 350 in it before long and probably getting a cowl hood, i was thinking about making it a fake Z28 but i now i don't know. also, what size cowl hood do you think would look best?

Edit: the GFX i would be putting on are from an '85 Z28

 

I think Sport Coupes don't need GFX.

You know man , GFX are the most popular and accepted cars.....however I myself like the look of a clean coupe that is done properly.....I vote no....keep it pure and simple....

 

I voted yes because I think only firebirds look cool without ground effects

 

yes

 

No. I honestly think buying a Camaro with GFX is more practical because there are so many available. Sport Coupes look fantastic when built right, especially considering they're the only thirdgens that can really look great as "muscle cars," and it looks like yours is well on track. I'd just get a good rust-free 85-90 Z28 shell and build off of it. It would probably cost less than buying new GFX.

It's your car though.

 

I'd leave the gfx off but I think the car would look good either way. Just depends on if you want the muscle car look or the sports car/pro touring look.

 

put the gfx on .

 

if it came as a sport coupe...keep it as a sport coupe. Although...you can still modify it to even look better....

 

i already have all of the ground effects except the passenger side rocker piece and the front bumper cover, but i need a new front bumper cover either way, so the cost really isn't that much of an issue, but about half of the studs stripped out in the plastic in the gfx and i don't know how well i would be able to mount them or how much trouble it would be. I am really just trying to decide if it would look better with or without, i used to always want them, but they way it looks now is really growing on me, and i don't know if it would look right with them anyways.

 

there were only 760ish LT's produced, i have one, you have another i vote no.

 

don't put the ground effects on

 

I say yes, but even more so, I just didnt like the sc front bumpers....just me though

 

thats my main problem too, i think it all looks good other than the front bumper, but maybe if i get some clear parking lights and a new grill thats not broken it will look better

 

I don't think your stripes would look as good with the GFX. Besides, they scrape on everything...

 

i don't think i'm gonna put them on right now, but i will save them and i might put them on sometime, and your avatar rules.

 

Definate NO! Leve them off

 

all of us SC lovers should meet up sometime and take a bunch of group shots. i think that would be really cool. i am going to be up in the columbus, OH area in Sept/Oct. time frame for an NSCA race up there. would ya'll be willing to get together? come out and race! www.nsca-racing.com for a class that you might fit in. look in EFI and American Muscle for rules that most of us can follow! i will racing American Muscle.

 

gfx would absolutely ruin that car. MW66nova said it best, leav it an LT my friend.

 

NO gfx... There aren't too many clean sport coups out there that you see and everyone else has gfx. Thats just my

 

This is tied 12/12, hehe. I say put them on.

 

OFF!

 

I say no. It looks good, and you don't need the extra weight.

 

Sport Coupes, done properly, mean business.

Leave the gfx off.

Nothing like ppl thinkin you have an underpowered lil 6 under the hood

But then again, that's just my humble observation.

Fastest car i rode in was an 83 berli, now that powerplant is in a stingray.

275/60/15's my GFX hatin' brotha!

 

when I get my 350 in though, they will know its not a V6 although i think i will leave them off. at least for now anyways

 

good. glad to hear!

 

awesome, good choice.

 

I've loved the look of Fbody's even before I knew they were Fbody cars, back when I was like 8 and just thought they looked cool. By and far, I think the cars with GFX look bigger and more muscle-carish, while cars without them look more sporty. I think it's all in what you want from your car. Good luck to ya!

 

Don't you think you have that backwards?


non gfx look "muscle-carish" to me, while the gfx'd ones look more modern, or sporty.

Guess it's just all in the combination someones running...

Just me though,
